"This week's episode of Nothing But Respect is in fact two episodes, because what was initially planned as two half-size chats blossomed into two full-size chats, and Harry and I wanted to make sure both guests stood out. The first episode, with Maitreyi Anantharaman, concerns the state of the WNBA playoffs, and while there is some now-dated Fever-Aces chat, I think that stuff is A) good, and B) not that dated."
"Also the rest of it is really good, and it functions as a backdoor look at basically every Aussie in the league besides Ezi Magbegor. The second episode, with playwright Max Wolf Friedlich of fame, concerns the psychic state of Knicks fandom, why it feels so great to root for bad teams, and his recent essay in i-D about working on the team that runs Lil Miquela, a bizarre AI influencer project that was ahead of its time (derogatory)."
The week’s Nothing But Respect comprises two full-length episodes after two planned half-size chats expanded. The first episode features Maitreyi Anantharaman analyzing the state of the WNBA playoffs, including a Fever-Aces segment described as somewhat dated but still valuable, and offers a backdoor look at nearly every Australian player in the league apart from Ezi Magbegor. The second episode features playwright Max Wolf Friedlich examining Knicks fandom psychology, why rooting for losing teams can feel great, and his recent i-D essay about working on the team behind Lil Miquela, described as a bizarre, ahead-of-its-time AI influencer project. The podcast is available on Apple Podcasts and other apps.
